Week 18 - The beginning of Changes

They say too much sweetness can become difficult to take in. But the sweetness of the lead pair of this show is never enough for us. Whenever Dev and Sonakshi are onscreen our eyes turn to 😍. Not just that, its so real and we are able to connect with their every conversation, so easily. One such scene was the opening of this week when Dev wanted to genuinely share with Sonakshi about his sister's happiness. Their conversation lasted only a short time..and we really wanted more of it. Sonakshi seemed to also desire the same..Her checking with Dev about evening plans was cute and cuter was his "kyon?"

Little did we know at that time, about Dev's master plan! As the elders are off to Ranvir's house..Dev made sure his sisters are off as well and got them movie tickets! Not only that...He got Sona a beautiful saree and accessories to go with that! Sona was overwhelmed by all of this and the note that said "I have seen you in saree before..but you were decked for someone else..this time, wear it for just me..". He even had it in his schedule "Meet bunny @8PM" - if Tina did not find out still, this should confirm it for her 😄

@8PM, Sona entered the room that Dev was very passionately lighting up with candles.. I know that every change in Dev is a realization to himself. But, I think its wonderful how he follows his heart blindly and does things for Sona and himself, which makes him the most romantic person! When a man praises the inner beauty of a woman, it truly pleases her. And here is our man Dev, who so generously praises his lady love Sonakshi.."I love your eyes not because they are beautiful, but because how they look intently at the person that is talking to you .. .I love your lips not just because they are perfect, but because the words that come out of it are so understanding..and full of love" He completely surrenders to her, as he confesses that this is the most beautiful feeling he has ever felt in his life and does not want anything more from life..

Sona, so far, never really had an opportunity to express her love to Dev in a way that he gets to know how crazy she also is about him..Today she did..She told him how she wanted to say all that Dev is saying to her.. and how she always waited for this kind of a love story and what a heartbreak it would have been for her.. and how much she would have been hurt if Dev was someone else's..and that she loves him so much that no-one else but he, can ever hurt her..Dev's response was so heartfelt when he said "please..don't give me that power to hurt you, 'cos I never ever want to do that". The cute couple surely complete each other and are perfect together. 

With that and the many beautiful moments that followed, Dev and Sona had the most romantic evening together ❤️😍 And, in a while, they also safely decided to part, before everyone comes home! Everything was fine except that Sona's ear ring fell in Dev's room.

That night, the small little scene with mama ji showed one side of Dev to me. Fathers play a very important role in anyone's life. For his 3 sisters, Dev is almost playing the role of a father.. But, having lost his father at a very young age, he himself looks up to the only other man of the house - mama ji, as his father. And that scene was a very genuine one, in which he was seeking an approval of the whole Neha-Ranvir wedding from mama.. Nicely conceived and of course very nicely played :)

The following day was Ishwari's birthday.

Every year, Ishwari's birthday is not just a birthday.. its a tradition. The day starts off with the first wish from Dev at midnight..Her first blessings are for Dev. Later in the morning, Dev takes off from work, takes her out, lets her buy a saree and whatever else she wants. Its her day and she spends it with Dev and she looks forward to the time that she gets with her son.. all for herself.

From Dev’s point of view - the saree itself is very important - it was one of the promises that he made for his mom as a child during their times of poverty - That he will buy her many sarees - so many that she can't even count them all.  

Dev probably did not realize that his mom only wanted that time with him and really did not mind about that saree anymore. Or probably he just wanted his soulmate, Sonakshi, to take part in his "The most" important day of the year. He decided to go with Sonakshi and buy the saree for Ishwari and surprise her. Obviously, Ishwari could not take this very well. She did not wear the saree..And Dev was hurt too..that his mom did not wear the saree he got for her. It was the first face off of Mom and son although completely unintentional.

The good man, that he is, maama ji knew Ishwari’s restless mind and he tried to make it easy for her by trying to giving her a piece of their childhood memories and a piece of his mind too on the matter that Dev will never ever intentionally hurt her. The two experienced actors make a huge impact to every little scene of theirs!

There is so much of “close to reality” moments in this show and Sonakshi’s gift to Ishwari (a photo frame with mom-son picture) was one such!

This week, the conversations between Dev and Sonakshi were extremely thought provoking and matured and many in a lighter vein as well! The very special day of his mom’s birthday, seemed very incomplete to Dev and he decided to atleast give Sonakshi a gift that she will like. His offer of a really expensive designer couple watch was countered by Sona’s comment “you talk about loving forever and now you talk about gifting a watch (that is restricted by time)!”. Dev’s reaction was too good! I am not sure if I say this because I am the actor’s big fan, but I find Shaheer’s every scene and his every actions and reactions extremely well done!

The part when Dev told Sona that she is the second most important woman in his life and her reaction to it  saying “our new relation does not compete with any of our old relations, it only completes” was very thought provoking and pretty much sums up as a solution to all the “in-law” problems of today.

Last week, didn’t I say Dev was capable of getting “anything” for Sona. The “Puchka-wala” only proved that 😃

“Either you get a girlfriend that your gift is worth or get a gift that your girlfriend can afford” was a good pun that brought the flying Dev back to the ground and to reality that he does not have to spend a lot of money to make Sona or anyone happy..its only the small things which bring a big smile in everyone's faces.

There is a lot of contrast to Sona-Dev and Neha-Ranvir relations. The first one is made of honesty, compromises that are understood and accepted, and a deep love for each other embracing everything that the both of them are tied to (career, relations, etc.). However, the latter is made of mainly compromises that are not completely accepted - Ranvir compromised on his principles and accepted the job to please Neha, but in turn he expects her to embrace his family. Neha probably compromised on her luxury, but expects Ranvir to give up many things that are his own..(like the career he had, his family).

Here is Sonakshi, who is able to understand Dev's change in emotion just in a phone conversation. She is able to sense that the topic she touched was highly sensitive to Dev..and does not end the conversation, without making sure Dev smiles. And there is Neha, who completely knows that Ranvir is making a big compromise by accepting Dev's job and lets him do that for her..She is ok that Ranvir lost a bit of his smile in trying to please her. Its my heartfelt wish that both the couple have a lovely life together and live happily forever. But for relationships to succeed, its crucial that the sacrifices and compromises made are instantaneous and accepted completely and not made as a favor. That way, Neha and Ranvir have a long way to go.

The last part of the week was rather a cute, happy one. Lot of tips for Dev, the man! First of all, whenever Sona asks "Do I look like 26 year old, just say without a pause..no baby, not more than 18". Second of all, "Girls are always right. Whatever be it, at the end, they just have to follow their ladies. because there is nothing wrong in following what is right". Third of all, "Men have brain and they can use it n all.. but they all possess an instinct, by which they blindly listen to girls!" In summary - Girls are always right..even if not, men, by instinct, follow them. There is nothing wrong in being the slaves of their love 😄❤️😍

I do want to end this week's write up with this cute advice for Dev..

But "Changes" have started to happen in everyone's life, especially in Dev-Sona-Ishwari's. After all Change is inevitable. This time, maami is right, a bengali butterfly has entered Ishwari's garden and is fond of Ishwari's most beautiful flower, Dev..Ishwari's unshakable, utmost trust on Dev that he will talk to her first before any move - is admirable..But, this is a matter of hearts..a matter of just 2 hearts not 3...

And Sona is just a beautiful butterfly... not any eagle..and its nature's rule that a flower blossoms and eventually a butterfly is attracted towards it..The flower cannot always stay in the plant and belong to the owner, can it?
